Avnos has been named to TIME’s America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2026, a list recognizing companies advancing innovation across energy, climate, and sustainability.
The recognition reflects growing momentum behind infrastructure solutions that address the combined constraints of energy, water, and compute. As industrial systems and data center demand scale, these challenges are increasingly converging.
Avnos’ Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC) technology is designed to operate within these constraints – removing CO₂ from the atmosphere while producing clean water, and integrating with existing energy and industrial infrastructure.
“Recognition like this is a useful signal of where the market is heading,” said Will Kain, CEO of Avnos. “The need for solutions that work within real-world infrastructure constraints is only increasing which is exactly the problem Avnos and our team is focused on solving.”

About Avnos
Integrating water at the heart of its technology, Avnos is rewriting the water–energy equation to scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) economically, responsibly, and sustainably. Its novel Hybrid Direct Air Capture (HDAC™) technology generates clean water as it captures CO2 and eliminates the need for external heat input, resulting in the most resource-efficient, geographically flexible, and cost-effective approach to DAC at scale.
Avnos is advancing multi-million-dollar projects with Shell, Mitsubishi Corporation, the Office of Naval Research, and the U.S. Department of Energy, demonstrating HDAC’s potential to deliver scalable, revenue-generating carbon removal solutions across multiple industries, including data centers, fuels, and industrial applications.
